Indeed. There's a marathon in Minnesota (Grandma's marathon, I think) that is supposed to be really cool, but it's in freaking June or July. Blech. I ran the Rochester marathon a few years ago (quite slowly) and it was hot, ran along the Erie Canal, and there were absolutely no people cheering for about the middle 15 miles of it. It was so miserable. Much worse than heavy rain.
